Why is an internal combustionengine rather than an external combustion engine?
The external combustion engine ( a steam engine is a good example) burns it fuel to create an energy source that is then transported (piped) to a device to create mechanical motion. The internal combustion engine burns its fuel inside the device creating the mechanical motion (piston car engines and Aircraft jet engines are two examples)

An external combustion engine. It's also an example of an engine that will start itself (no starter motor required if it's the piston type rather than a turbine). It's also an example of an engine that has more torque when its running slowly than when it speeds up (if it's the piston type rather than a turbine).
